한국인에서 DPD 및 TS, MTHFR의 유전자다형

초록

In-order to do efficient treatment of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in Koreans, we investigated genetic polymorphisms of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD; gene, DPYD), thymidylate synthase (75), and methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), which are involved in 5- FU metabolism or efficacy in a Korean population. As results, we found genetic polymorphisms in DPYD-85, -1627, and -1896 site, TS-5'ER, and -3'U'TR, and MTHFR-222, 429 site among the Koreans (normal, N=105; head and neck cancer patients, N=28). 5-FU efficacy was determined into PR(partial response, decrease of cancer size over 50%) and SD (stable disease). Each or combination of the above 7 genetic polymorphisms were not associated with 5-FU efficacy. Therefore, the studied 7 genotypes can not be considered to result in individual variation in 5-FU efficacy.
